Henshaw Ogubike, the Director, Press and Public Relations, in statement quoted the Minister as saying: “The visit was to access and evaluate the performance of the Corporation in relation to Managerial coordination and implementation of existing rail infrastructure and ongoing projects with particular reference to Lagos-Ibadan and Kano-Maradi railway modernisation”.

The Minister assured the NRC’s Management of the Ministry’s support towards realizing its statutory functions in all ramifications.

“The Federal Ministry of Transportation would take advantage of bilateral and multilateral agreements between Nigeria and several countries on trade and transfer of technology” , he said.

Speaking further, Alkali pointed out that transportation constitutes a major organ in promoting economic growth across countries world wide. As such, the Ministry according to him, would ensure completion of Bola Tinubu Station of the Standard Gauge rail in a very short while

In a similar vein, he said the Ministry was working towards fixing the single track carrying containers from Lagos to Kano within three months.

Alkali added that the Ministry was also working towards expansion of the Operational Scope of Kajola Rail Wagon
Assembly Plant.

He however, affirmed that ” The familiarization tour of railway facilities and projects within Lagos was interesting, despite a number of discoveries that required urgent Executive action”.

Earlier, the Managing Director, NRC, Fidet Okhiria, who congratulated the Minister on behalf of the entire staff on his appointment and that
the NRC had faced challenges, which includes security threats and vandalism of critical infrastructure.

“We must commend the efforts of various security agencies for securing the NRC facilities for safety of our valued passengers and other stakeholders by arresting and prosecuting offenders”, he added.

He pleaded with the Minister to use his legislative experience to achieve his mandate of railway modernisation projects in the country.
